Lots of These

The scraps were all from a Doodlebug Designs paper pad. Keeping to scraps from just one paper pad/collection helped to ensure that the pieces all coordinated nicely. I die cut the scraps using several different width fishtail flag dies, then arranged them on a white cardstock panel. Once they were in place, I machine stitched along the top of the strips. I was too lazy to change the thread in my machine to red, which might have looked better with my papers. The “for you, lots of these” sentiment from the Of the Heart Sentiments set from Lil’ Inker Designs is stamped just above the strips in red ink. I added a pair of layered hearts and a shiny silver arrow to the banners as an accent.

I love all of these pinks and reds together! And I'm with you about changing the thread on my sewing machine -- doesn't white thread go with everything? Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches again this week!
